Tho happiness of tho newly married couplo seemed to be shared by every one else, and tho entire bridal party eat down to the wedding breakfast umtd much laughter and merriment. Tho best man was Just proposing a toast to tho bride and groom when someone handed the captain n tele gram. "Bad news, dear?" nsked Eleanor apprehensively. "The worst possible. They want mo to report nt headquarters today. Some thing important has come up, I suppose."

"There's a train that leaves nt one-thirty and it's after ono o'clock now. Come on and I'll drive you to the station." "You are the most wonderful girl in the world," Allen told her for the thou sandth time on the way to tho station. "It won't bo for long, darling It Just can't be," she choked, ns for a mo ment she clung to him helplessly. But It was not until tho last guest had gone that Eleanor threw herself on her bed 'and sobbed bitterly. It had been so sudden and unexpected, nnd they planned everything so care fully. Her trunk had gone and Allen had paid for their rooms at tho little mountain inn, where they were going, Suddenly Eleanor sat up on her bed, with nn inspiration.

I'll do It I" In n few moments Eleanor appeared before her mother, dressed for her ourney, nnd the astounded lady looked at her In nmnzenient. But Mrs. Os good was n sensible woman and not easily disturbed, so she made little ob lection to her daughter's plans. "If any word comes from Allen be fore I get back, please wire at once, mother dead. I'll bo a good girl, so lon't worry. Good-by." On tho thirty-mile train ride Eleanor allowed herself little time for thought, but knitted frantically nil tho. way. The inn was some, dlstanco from tho station, nnd tho drive in tho crisp win ter nlr was delightful. There wore few .guests, nnd tho kindly llttlo old lady who kept tho house did not bonier her with useless questions, but took iier to a cheerful sitting room whero n great wood fire lay blazing on tho hearth. "Drink this tea, my dear,, and rest yourself a bit. It's five now, bo you'll not want dinner till seven. If you want anything, ring." "I don't wonder ho loved it here,". thought Eleanor, and her eyes filled with sudden tears. After n whllo her tired lids drooped and she fell asleep. It was almost seven o'clock when Eleanor was awakened by a sound in the room. "It must be Mrs. Green, to tell mo supper is ready," sho considered drow sily, and sat up on tno coucn, -xnen her eyes almost popped out of her head, for sitting In a big chair by tho fire was her husband. "Allen 1" eho cried, "nra I dreaming again?" "Not a bit of it I" he assured ner, taking her !n his arms. "It -was nil a mistake tho telegram was supposed to rend ! 'Report nt headquarters in a week from today.' Stupid, but it mlcht havo been worse. I telephoned you at onco nnd your mother told mo you had come here, so I took tho next train after you aro you giad to seo mo?" "Glad? Why, I can't believe my eyes or ears, it's so simply wonderful. I don't honestly believe I ever appre ciated you before. But I do now, and I'm too happy for words." Allen kissed her tenderly and they sat down and talked ns if they had not seen each other for years. At last Mrs, Greene actually did corao to announce dinner. "Could you eat anything?" asked Allen "Could II I'm simply starved. It may not be romantic, but I nm." "So nm I." admitted tho bridegroom. "Then wo'll make this tho wedding breakfast that wo both missed today, Como on. Contain Scarlos."
